welcome!
Hi, I'm Esther, currently studying Fine Arts at the University of the Arts in Berlin.
This blog is about failing in everyday life, a bit of art here and there but most of all about me and what happens in my mind. Or what failing in everyday life does to my mind, or how my mind makes me fail in everyday life. And, not quite so explicitly, but sort of implicitly - what art has to do with it all.
Please forgive all the supposedly unnecessary text. I have too much on my mind and mean no harm.

Portraits. Our first “assignment” in the Film&Photo seminar – mainly for the sake of the instructor’s memory of our names.
